Health Equity Interns from Bouvé College’s Institute for Health Equity and Social Justice Research presented their research and creative projects at the 2024 RISE Expo.
Northeastern’s RISE, Research, Innovation, Scholarship, Entrepreneurship, allows undergraduate and graduate students to share their work and present live alongside their research mentor.
“I am proud and excited to highlight the terrific work our Health Equity Interns (HEIs) in the Institute for Health Equity and Social Justice Research (IHESJR) are presenting at RISE today. This work is possible through the institute’s leadership, faculty/staff-student mentorship, faculty scholars, community partners, and a robust network committed to advancing NU’s mission,” said Carmen Sceppa, MD, PhD, FGSA, Dean, Bouvé College of Health Sciences.
